Daily Thread – Colossians 3

Not Carnality but Christ

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

 

Good morning and welcome

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

    Small Straws by Marsha Burns:

    When you are looking for a substantial breakthrough, remember that sometimes it is like the breaking of a dam that begins with a small leak and grows bigger as it develops. Be patient, and continue to stay alert to recognize the progress you are making. It will begin with a trickle and grow until the obstacles are completely washed away. Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

  • Good morning. Long night last night. If you ever want a detailed weather report go to Ryan Hall Y'all on youtube. I could not believe the amount of tornados that were hitting people all last night. From Ohio and Illinois to Arkansas. Just unreal. We were hit with severe thunderstorms and lots and lots of rain.

      • Up half the night last night just watching and had a son and grandson's who were in the path of these storms. Also relatives in Ohio who had to take shelter so yeah it was a big one.

  • Good morning. I'm (im)patiently waiting for my orchid to bloom. It hasn't bloomed in about a year, so I'm very excited! I received my orchid from the VP at a previous job for my part in a successful audit. Since my house is a "plant killer", I'm thankful it's still alive!

  • IF...we have been raised with Christ
    •• keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is at the right hand of God
    •• keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth

    IF...we have been raised with Christ
    •• we died and our life is hidden with Christ in God
    •• when Christ appears, we too will be revealed with Him in glory

    SO...put to death whatever still remains in our nature that belongs to the earth
    -- sexual immorality, impurity
    -- shameful passion, evil desire
    -- greed which is idolatry
    -- anger, rage, malice
    -- slander, abusive language, lying

    In this message, Paul Washer goes over some of the harsh realities that are involved in obedience to these instructions....do we have a new attitude toward and relationship with sin?

    So, how can we know that this being raised with Christ is real in our lives?
    He also stresses the blessed confidence and assurance that are promised and given to the obedient who give to the Lord Jesus, the honor and obedience and submission that are rightfully His.

    This message was recorded under an outdoor tent, so there are some background noises, and some sound of a breeze across the microphone, but the capture of his voice is very clear so it's not at all difficult to hear the word.
